We analyse global anomalies and related constraints in the Standard Model (SM) and various Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) theories. We begin by considering four distinct, but equally valid, versions of the SM, in which the gauge group is taken to be G = G SM /Γ n , with G SM = SU(3) × SU(2) × U(1) and Γ n isomorphic to ℤ/ n where n ∈ {1, 2, 3, 6}. In addition to deriving constraints on the hypercharges of fields transforming in arbitrary representations of the SU(3) × SU(2) factor, we study…

The constraints imposed by the cancellation of triangle anomalies on models in which the flavour anomalies reported by LHCb and other experiments are due to an extra U(1)$$^\prime$$′ gauge boson Z″ are explored, showing how the prospective LHC Z′ constraint may be weakened because the Z′→μ+μ- branching ratio is suppressed relative to other decay modes.
